Yeah .... Obama supposedly had little chance of being re-elected too.

This bill is a smokescreen. The real goal is to slip the Small Arms Treaty through the Senate, which would take but 34 votes if Dirty Harry gets sneaky enough about it.

Stopping the Spread of Deadly Assault Weapons - By Isthisnickcool

No federal agency may allow the sale and transportation of any weapon across borders for the purpose of manipulating the American public. In the event such weapons are allowed to be transported across borders and any citizen of the brodering country is harmed or killed or any US citizen is harmed or killed the president of the United States shall be impeached, Congress shall be removed from office and all Federal employees will have a 90% reduction in pay.

“Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds”

Does a tube feed count as a magazine? If so Marlin .22 model 60, 11 million in circulation will be targeted.

That only counts after you’ve been convicted of something. There will be many millions of un-convicted criminals under a law like this but it won’t prevent them from voting. Being a felon in possession of illegal firearms would somewhat of a moot point.

.

Require full and open disclosure of any and all firearms and firearms parts previously and/or currently manufactured by the Chi-Com (PRA) company and/or companies that Feinstein-Blum have invested in and hugely profited from

This “Blind Trust” crapola that politicians hide under is joke!

If beauty is skin-deep then Di-Fi proves that ugly goes all the way to the bone

- Yes I have personally listed to the tape recording of Feinstein’s California office staffers denying that that she owned and carried a pistol because she actually owned and carried a revolver. Yes - there may or may not be certain people at the NRA and elsewhere that may or may not have specific knowledge of such a tape.

It might be quite helpful if somebody on FR could put together info files (like “THE OBAMA FILES”) on the many lying gun-carrying creeps like Di-Fi and Smucky Schemer

Include Hillary “Rodham” Clinton, John “Big-Daddy” Edwards, and Barack “Blow” Hussein Obama II - all of them lied on nationwide live TV during the 2008 democratic debates when they were asked to raise their hand if they ever lived in a residence that had firearms within - none of those three raised a hand

So - why don’t I do it myself?

Because I am lousy at doing such things!

Cannot carry a handgun that holds over 6-7-8 cartridges? Carry two handguns - or 3 or 4.....

Try Blue Glaser ammo - always have spare barrels - and spare cylinders - sub-sonic will save your ears and - improvise - there is never “too much gun”

Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice

Hmmm.... has anyone noticed the following talking points from the David Gregory crowd:

“Gun owners as a percentage of the population are actually decreasing. Fewer & fewer citizens own more & more of the guns.”

“Enthusiasm for assault weapons is a mostly white male thing.”

“The impetus for change has to start locally. Find out which of your neighbors own guns & challenge them to explain how their gun rights are more important than dead kindergartners.”

Sounds Alinsky to me: isolate, minimize, & belittle those who disagree with the agenda to create a better world.

I want all voters ID’d and fingerprinted. Feinstein can chew on that for a while.

Nope, its all stored in a database somewhere. The trick is them actually getting a hold of the actual weapons. What will they do, ransack every household, tear out walls etc.? Lots of places to hide a weapon in the house, or car or outside.

With a bus out front to take into custody all those with outstanding warrants. In Atlanta alone, you would need a line of buses bigger than the high school at 3 PM.

Sorry, Ron but you are mistaken. My brother-in-law has lived there for 25+ years and he has to “register” per the link below. So, you are either ignorant of the sorry law, violating the law, or misleading readers of this thread. Not meaning to offend, but incorrect info needs to be challenged.

Perhaps I am wrong. But you need to accept the possibility that these guys aren't even thinking in terms of a 2014 election. You need to accept the possibility that they see this as their best chance to seriously weaken the 2nd Amendment. You need to accept the possibility that this admin. is going to use this tragedy to further solidify its grasp of power over our completely dumbed-downed society. In other words, you should at least ponder what you will do IF I am right. Simply saying “I'm wrong...end of story” is exactly what they want you to do.

Doesn’t FOPA effectively ban gun registration, except for machine guns and silencers?

So what is it that I am supposed to do if you are right?

And how do you know I haven't already done it?

I was born and raised in So. Cal., lived there for 40 years. When I bought ammo for my .44 I had to show I.D. and give a thumb print.

Maybe it was the gun store policy, I don't know but I remember having to do it.

As an aside, the gun shop I am referring to was B & B in No. Hollywood. It's the same shop the cops went to to get heavier arms in the B of A robbery and subsequent shoot out.

Gallup Poll Shows Gun Ownership in U.S. Highest in Nearly 20 Years

Concealed carry laws are probably one reason, plus the idea that certain guns might be banned, but if you already own one, you will be "grandfathered."

People might be surprised at how many "little old ladies" have a gun in the house.

For starters you can abandon the notion that any bill in any shape, form or fashion is DOA. There is no such thing with these cultural Marxists or eunich repubs. I have no idea what you have or have not done, I can only respond to comments that you have made. What you choose to do in the face of tyranny is simply that...your choice.
